Pup off to be groomed

[yankee2500]

I just sent the pup off to Robar for a full NP3 treatment (frame , slide, internals and two mags) they say turn around time is four to six weeks. I will carry the LCP in the vacant pocket while I wait for the pup to return. Pic's and a range report will be posted after we are reunited.

Excellent! What is the cost?

[kjtrains]

Sounds good!  Looking forward to pics and report!

That sounds like a worthy venture; I don't know the price through
Rohrbaugh but the cost from Robar is $285 for the complete pistol
and 1 magazine. They don't specify make, model, etc..

Robar has a show special still running until the end of June 15% off. So the cost was $285 and $20 for the extra mag. after the discount $259.25 plus shipping both ways it will be about $325.

Sounds like money well spent; an all expenses paid vacation for your R9 and he comes home relaxed and tanned.

That is a good price and if that's what someone wants, go for it.  Will cost more next month.

Sweet!  I've been thinking about the same treatment on one of mine ever since that picture of one from the shot show.  Cant wait to hear how it goes.

That sounds like a plan! I'll be looking forward to seeing the photographs of your "newly groomed pup."

I thought I would check the price of getting the front and backstraps stippled while the pup was at the groomers, so I called to get a price on the work $160 each Needless to say  the pup will be returning home unstippled.

3M tape works great: front, back, and sides: $1.00

Thats VERY high for stippling work.  You can get it checkered cheaper than that.

[ACP]

Concur with Corey as to high cost. You would think that the guy would give you preferential treatment for stippling, given the fact that he already had the gun and adding to work would by like "bundling" with a communication subscriber.

Unfortunately, it appears that the guy, instead, gave you an untenable number. Did you try to point this out to the gunsmith and negotiate a better number?

[yankee2500]

This is Robar I was talking to and they have set prices on there web site, the  backstrap or front on any gun is $160. My thought was on the R9 there was less area than on a double stack 1911 and may be cheaper. Only shows how wrong you can be sometimes.
